Talking to some recent grads, once Wi-Fi came in, now most of these students are surfing and IMing in class. It's distracting. I support this ban.
As to the people who say that the prof just reads the text to them, just don't show up for class. That's what I did, and I went to school long before the class status was updated on a web page. I ran the risk of missing tests and had to go through the trouble of finding out what the prof was covering through other means. Nowadays, you can see the assignments on the web and read them without going to class.
I know there are classes where laptops are useful, but in large lectures, they probably should be out.
And look, we've got a law school bunghole in here. Oh yeah, keep on with that "Paper Chase" stuff. Keep thinking that law school is so much different than everything else, sooo much tougher. Only thing worse than the flood of worthless lawyers is the law profs and their Socratic methods, emphasizing the length of their johnson by comparing their knowledge to that of students.
